Former Pakistani actress Sara Chaudhary’s journey from "then" to "now" is a profound narrative of spiritual growth and personal evolution.
After a successful career in showbiz, Sara made the courageous decision to step away from the glitz and glamour to embark on a path towards a deeper connection with her faith.
The lady has appeared as a guest on Hafiz Ahmed’s podcast, where she talked about her huge transformation.
Sarah revealed insights into her spiritual odyssey and departure from the entertainment world after a successful career lasting close to ten years to focus on enhancing her religious practices.
She disclosed that her family's commitment to religion has always been steadfast, and her inner desire to strengthen her Islamic faith led her to prioritize this journey, resulting in her exit from showbiz.
Here are the exact words of the lady:
“My parents were always inclined towards Islam. They always emphasized Namaz and the Quran. My father was quite strict about Namaz. He used to ask me about prayers daily. My mother was regular with her Salah even in her youth. Also, we used to observe Ramadan with great zest. Besides this, I was very spiritual; I used to pray for guidance, wanting Allah to mold me into the person He desired. I realized that peace is found in Allah’s name and righteousness.”
She went on to say that:
“I realized that true guidance comes after aligning your life with the wishes of Allah. Amidst my career and reflections, another incident led to my guidance; my young Khala passed away at the age of 38. It was then I decided to leave the showbiz industry. It was shocking for me, a reality check. The restrictions imposed by my family also contributed to my spiritual transformation. As Sara Chaudhry, I wasn’t allowed to move outside with my friends much. These restrictions were a blessing for me, which helped in my spiritual journey. I never delved too deeply into the modernism of the media industry.”
